Hung out with Clark today while he was getting juiced up, We chatted about ice climbing, big walls and the up coming Idyllwild season. Good stuff!

Just got off the phone with Clark. He just did two days of chemo, and is going back down this afternoon for some other kind of s shot, and might need a transfusion as his red cells are low.
As always he is upbeat and cheerful. An amazing guy.
Here's Clark goofing around with Alois Smrz at the Idyllwild Historical Center in November 2009. Seems like yesterday.

Let's firm something up. I like the low key idea. I'm thinking Clark would rather not have a big fuss about it all.

I can arrange a get together up here in Idyllwild, it's all up to the connivence of location, would Idyllwild work for us?

I was invited by a local Joshua Tree friend to have dinner at his house, as was Clark. This was last Friday evening - after two days of chemo, driving to/from both days, and another run to the hospital for the "day after" shot, you'd think the guy would be too tired to socialize.
Not Clark! He was gracious and conversational the whole time, and had that positive mental attitude so many of us have been inspired by.

Thanks for the word.
That right there is what will carry Clark through this with flying colors. I am looking forward to hanging out with Clark when we are both very old men...

I wish I could do it at my place, but it's just not feasible, for a number of reasons.
Maybe we pool some cash together and get a group site at either Sheep's Pass or Indian Cove.
Any thoughts?

Do you think there may be too many people to do a group site in the park?
I know the dry lake bed is yucky, but... the SushiFest there a few years back worked out fine. They rented a porto-potty and the dude drove it right out!

Figure out a way to reserve multiple sites.
It can be done.
(psst, happie, once those group sites are reserved, I don't think they count heads. maybe vehicles.......Never saw a ranger in Sheep Camp 2 years ago and I poached there for 5 days.)
